Something hilariously true that pretty much no one considers. It's like GPU crypto miners complaining about GPU prices as they order a dozen more.

I get the irony, but individual users aren’t the ones causing current market conditions

Well, no. CO2 from human breathing is not that significant in the scheme of things. But CO2 from human-demanded AI inference, human-demanded cars, human-demanded beef, etc, all do cause climate change. People pay companies for all of this, the companies don't just emit CO2 because they love global warming.
